The terrified shifter grabs his Slaystation in one hand and a pillow in the other before bolting from the room. Triumphant, I turn to find my girl gazing at me with a mix of exasperation and what I choose to interpret as unbridled lust.

Look at me, being a good provider and shit.

“Bathroom there,” I point, as if this single room wasn’t the size of Renard’s walk-in closet. “Desk for studying. Kitchen…ette? Oh, looks like dude left his keys on the counter. I’ll just take one set, thank you. And what do you know—there’s my office in the Leonidas Gym right across the way... " I trail off as she narrows her eyes at me in suspicion. “Ooh look! Thebed!”I take a flying leap onto the blue-striped mattress, immediately adopting a sexy pose worthy of a Preygirl centerfold.

Delores rolls her eyes, but joins me on the bed before pulling some papers out of her enormous purse. “Thank you for the grand tour, Bash. Hey, while you’re here, maybe you can go over my syllabus with me? I’m feeling a lot less prepared than I thought I was... "

I sit up at the tremor in her voice, tracking a single tear gliding down her smooth cheek like the predator I am. Unable to resist doing what I’d wished I’d done the first time we’d met, I cup her jaw in my hand and gently lick the errant droplet away.

Delores freezes, eyes widening in what almost looks like instinctual fear before she relaxes again. Turning her face ever so slightly, she tentatively brushes her lips against mine—as if unsure whether I’d want to kiss her.

I’ll have to come on stronger next time!

Crushing her against me, I drink down her squeak of surprise before devouring her pretty little mouth like it’s my prey, chasing her tongue with mine until she’s melting into my arms. The scent of her arousal is making my wolf pace beneath the surface, but I tamp him down for the time being.

Behave, Dr. Wolfenschlong…

My hands trail down her sides—and side boobs, no regrets—before I bring them to that tantalizing jewel decorating her soft belly. She giggles and squirms while I play with it, but the instant I travel lower, toying with the top of her skirt, she leaps away from me like I have Lupus Lice.

“I…can’t! It’s, um, well, it’s my moontime and I just don't want to gross you out and…ugh! Why is my life so ridiculous?” Her porcelain skin has turned bright red, her gaze firmly fixed on the delicate hands clenched in her lap.

Oh, man, this is fucking adorable.

“Cherry,” I croon, not even trying to hide the amusement in my tone. “I eat my meat so rare it’s practically still kicking. Do you really think yourmoontimeis going to deter me?” Her baby blues snap to my face, her expression a mixture of horror and…

Yup, definitely unbridled lust.

Instead of taking me up on what is a fairly obvious offer, Delores clears her throat and retrieves the syllabus that had fallen to the floor before wordlessly handing it to me. I scan the sheet and almost fall off the bed when I see who’s listed on her schedule.

“Ohhh, you have Shifting Studies with Professor Cassius?” I chuckle, practically gleeful at the idea of my twin coming face-to-face with this morsel. “Good luck withthatprick—I hear he’s a real broody asshole.”

She grimaces before snatching the paper from me. “Well, that sucks. Especially since I’m not a morning person. How the hell do they expect us to be coherent for a 7:00 AM class? I also need to stop by the Shirdal Arts Center to change my major and register for my performing arts classes.”

I perk up, ready for more mischief. “Hey, maybe you should ask ProfessorNicoto help you with the art major stuff. He has a soft spot for creative types.” My wolf smiles at the sight of her pulse beating in her slender neck, her scent rising again to torment me. I would offer to make him promise not to corner her, but I get the distinct impression she wouldn’t mind if that happened again.

Delores attempts to casually shrug off my suggestion, as if her pussyisn’tcurrently sending up smoke signals. “Oh, I met some friends there during my tour—Rufus and Cori were their names. Maybe they can give me some advice.” She pulls her phone out and unlocks the screen.

You can run, but you can’t hide.

“Ok, Cherry,” I rise from the bed, conveniently leaving my enormous boner at eye-level for her enjoyment. “I’ll let you get settled in, but Iexpectyou to check in with me. Every day.” Snatching her phone, I add my number under emergency contacts and send myself a text before handing it back to her. “And ifToddand any of his scumbag friends even breathe the same air as you, I want you to tell me, so I can fuck ‘em up good.”

Tearing her gaze away from my crotch, she nods up at me, smiling gratefully. “Thank you, Bash. For everything. I think tomorrow will be fine as long as I don’t piss off this Professor Cassius first thing in the morning!”

Teaching entitled rich pricks how to correctly shift sucks balls.

Not for the first time, I wonder how the fuck I was unlucky enough to end up as a professor here at Apex Academy. To say it’s humiliating is the understatement of the century. I was the next in line to lead the Romulus pack before our younger brother, Titus, wrested the title from me in a scandalous coup that rocked the entire community—from Bloodstone Island all the way toLupus Specus.

Besides the obvious reason for my disqualification, Titus claimed there’s no way Sebastian and I could rule together peacefully. This is complete bullshit, since Bash doesn’t give two shits about power. All my twin cares about is sticking his dick in anything that moves, male or female.

That's really what this is about.

Not Bash's dick, but mine, and where I shouldn't have put it. One time. One fucking time, I allowed my wolf to give in to my cravings and I lost everything for it.
